SAN ANTONIO --Apparently, turnabout is fair play, even when your wife is pregnant.

Justin Sylvester, an Austin insurance consultant, and his wife are expecting their second child. He wanted his wife to commemorate the big event with photos.

She said no.

So, Sylvester decided he, and his beer belly, would stand in for some maternity -- or manternity -- photos.

With the help of Austin photographer Kerri Lohmeier, Sylvester and his beer belly are now famous, as the photos went viral on the Internet.

Sylvester is featured in a wide range of poses, trying to emulate what a photo shoot might have looked with his pregnant wife.

According to Austin Culture Map, Sylvester received interview requests from numerous popular television programs, such as the Today Show and Good Morning America, as well as publications like Cosmopolitan and Jezebel.
